Methodist Conference
To He Held Here Soon
Bishop Warren A. Candler, general
superintendent, will convene the one
hundred and forty-eighth annual session
of the South Carolina conference
at 9 <o clock 'Wednesday morning, November
15, at the Byttleton Street
Methodist church in Camden. Following
holy communion, administered
by the bishop assisted by the Kev. G.
F. Kirby, presiding elder of the Sumter
district, the Rev. C. F. WimMVly,
pastor hosts, and other ministers of
the Sumter district, seat oh the conference,
the Rev. W. V. Dibble, secletary,
will call the roll, and pits coiiy
ference will organize for the fivd rd*y
meeting. , \
Early in the session the conference
will elect five clerical and dve lay
delegates to the approaching quad-1
rennial general conference which
meets in Jackson, Miss., May 1984 j
Members of the confereif^e will also j
bo asked to adopt certain memorial
to that body seeking new enactments
or rbpeal or modification of existing
laws. It is generally understood that
the conference will memorialize the
general conference to modify .or repeal
the law requiring ministers seeking
admission to pledge themselves
to abstain from the use of tobacco.
Of paramount interest will be the
annual assignment of the ministerial
members to be made by the bishop
for the ensuing conference year.
Bishop Candler will be assisted' in
filling the list of appointments by a
cabinet composed of the si* presiding
elders as follows: E. L. McCoy,
Charleston district; J. T. Fowler,
Florence district; J. T. Ppeler, Kingstree;
J. H. Graves, Marion; J3. 0.
Cantey, Orangeburg; and G. F. Kirby,
Sumter. Of the number, three,
the Revs. E. L. McCoy, J. T. Fowler
and G. F. Kirby have served in their
presen^ positions for four consecutive
years, the tipie limit, and will
necessarily be moved.
While the four-year tenure is compulsory
only in the presiding eldership,
men holding pastorates for four
years or longer are more than likely j
to be moved. Four year men, and I
those who have served longer in the I
same work, are:
T. G. Herbert, 'Bethel church, Charleston;
E, V. Best, North Charleston;
W. J. Snydef, Spring Street, Charleston;
L. T.- Phillips, Cottageville;
F. E. Hodges, Ehrhardt; W. T. Bedenbaugh,
(Hendersonville, (5 years);
Gobe Smith, Chesterfield; W. D. Gleaton,
McColl; A. Sassard, PagelaqdJ
R. P. Hucke, Pinopolis; D. T. Smoak,.
St. Stephens; G. T. (Rhoad, Sararpltf
G. H. Varn, -Unionj^J. W.-/ones,
South Aynor, (b years); H, FL Collins,
Clio; Peter Stokes, Mariohi T.
E. Derrick, Nichols; (L. D. Benenbaugh,
Bamberg; C. S. Felder, Bowman;
G. E. Parrott, Eutawville; W.'
V. Dibble, Si. Paul's, Orangeburg.
Extra-pastoral appointees of the I
conference include the -Revs. C. B.'
Burns, marine pastor, Parris Island;
B. M. Bo wen, professor in Erriory
University, Atlanta, Ga.; E. O. Watson,
.editor Southern Christian Advocate;
Mason Crum, professor at Duke
University, Durham, N. C.
The Rev. J. H. Noland is confer-1
ence treasurer and Dr. J. C. Guilds,
president of Columbia College is conference
lay leader.
Camden is one of the oldest strongholds
of Methodism in the south.
Familiar ground to Bishops Francis
Asbury, the first of the American
bishops, he held a conference here as
far back as 1801. Bishop Whatcoat,
Coke, Roberts, Joshua Soule and J.
O. Andrew, were other pioneer bishops
to preside over sessions in Cam4den.
- '
The pastors and lelegates will be
entertained in the homes of Camden,
not only of the Methodist denomination,
but all; denominations have also
graciously thrown open thejr homes
and the pastors of other churches are
heartily cooperating with the Methodists.
Red Cross Aided Every J
Part of United States,
Every state and practically every
county shared in the distribution of ?
85,000,000 bushels of Government t
wheat and 844,0Q0 bales of Govern- s
ment cotton by the American Rod v
Cross.
Flour was placed on the pantry #
shelves of nearly 6,000,000 families f
and clothing on the backs of nearly t
5,500,000 families. The Red Cross t
directed the task from mill to in- g
dividual beneficiary. t
The figures given out showed that j
10,088,507 barrels of flour had been
placed in the homes of 5,508,000 fam- |
flies in 8,081 counties, of the United j
States. Distribution of the (lour, or ,
its Equivalent in bakery products, t
was handled by $,C>45 chapters and j
other Ked Cross units. ,
01,077,088 yards of cloth and 533,- j
888,730 garments of many sizes and ,
descriptions were distributed in 3,075 \
counties. Tlte beneficiaries vn\i inhered ,
5,405,410 families. > & . j
"Practically the same conditions
will confront the Red Cross in 1034
as in 1033," says Mrs. Margaret CV ;
Mayfield of the local Red Cross or- j
ganization. "In-spite of the universal*^
confidence in the NRA and other
phases of the present Administration's
recovery program, the return
to prosperity will necessarily be slow.
Especially is this true in rural districts.
;
. "The question of relief is a local
problem. It is not the duty of the
federal government to aid in local
"matter? of this natute. - President
Roosevelt in a speech delivered over
the radio from the White House on
Sunday night made this point clear.
He emphasized his position that local
and state responsibility comes first in
the relief program, and said:
" 'A number?-I am glad to say a
small number?of people have written
to me tp express the thought that all
relief work should be taken over by
the government, and have intimated
that they would not feel any duty
this year to, subscribe tp, local relief
#r focal charity,
" 'These people have a wholly
wrong slant on the fundamental basis
of our American civilization.' They
deny the civic responsibility of the
I individual, and would seek to toss
I every problem into the lap of the
Government. They, are 'buck-pa ss"
'On the other hand the overwhelming
majority of the American
people understand clearly that it is
firat'tfce duty of the individual and
The?Ipcar cqmmdnity to- do all that
they carT^doTp maintain relief and
welfare; it is then the obligation
6T the state" govern ment to supplement
local efforts and that finally
if all of this put together is not sufficient,
the federal government stands
ready to help.'
"The President has put this duty
on us.1 We cannot affort to fail him
in .these critical'times. The only organized
relief agency in this, part of
the country is the Red Cross. It is
our duty to society as a whole, and to
our fellow citizens in Kershaw county
to support the Red Cross. I am confident
that the citizens of this county
will do their part. The opportunity
is open to them November 11 to 30."

Richards Urges An I
Advance On Cotton
Lancaster, S. C? Oct, 80.-?Conpresaman
Richards on Monday sent v
ha following telegram to the Honor- v
ible Hem'y A: Wallace, secretary of NV
igriculture: a
"Urgently advise that government j.
idvancc four cents a pound, on cotton ^

[voiding the forcing option

ante time, permitting option "holders ?

OiIigresaWn/NRiehards expressed ?
he opinion\haVthere is Vvavc dan- ?
jer if thesy options are put on the ?
market at 0 1-2 cents a pound, or j j
ibove. lie feels that Litis action will j v
force the market down unless the,]1
tbove plan is followed. The Department
of Agriculture has already an- ?
nounced its intention to distribute f
those options immediately and should
rlo st> as it is. already obligated by <
the "plow-up contracts." Hut he
feels that there will bo no necessity \
for this if the farmers are granted J
an advance of four cents a pound on >
their "plow-up options," thus keeping '
the cotton olT the market and pre- ,
venting a drastic reduction in price. ]

The Coming Conference
In just a little over one week,
Camden will be visited by about 260
guests of the South Carolina Confer- ]
ence. Representative men and wo- <
men will be here from all over the ]
south rhalf of the state, . There is j
much yet to be done, but we are go- (
ing to do it. Just here, the pastor <
of the Methodist church wishes to <
publicly thank our friends of the :
other churches for their help and cooperation
in putting over this gigantic
task. But we venture to say that
when it is over all who have done
their xshare will be glad they did it 1
and will not regret the sacrifice and
extra work necessary to entertain
their guests.?C. F. Wimberly.

Kershaw Era.
Seaboard Official Was
Pleased With Camden
The following letter was received
last week by Mayor Robert M. Kennedy,
Jr., from S. B. Murdock, general
passenger agent of the Seaboard
Airline Railway, relative to his recent
visit to Camden along with several
other officials of the same company:
"It was indeed a great pleasure for
me to have met you personally and
to have had the delightful experience
of. visiting your most attractive section.
"As I said in my little talk at the
Hobkirk Inn, I hqd been to Camden
on two previous occasions, but for
business reasons my time there was
short and I did not have the opportunity
of seeing just what you really
have. After my recent visit, however,
I am very enthusiastic indeed
about Camden, and sincerely trust
that I will be able to use the information
which I gained to our mutual
advantage."
Was Born in Camden
Mrs. R. H. Edmunds, who died in
Columbia on October 23, at the home
of her sister, Mrs. J. Wilson Gibbcs,
was a native of Camden. The maiden
name of Mrs. Edmunds was Miss
Mattie Peay I^amar. She was the
daughter of Col. Robert S. and Mrs.
Caroline Jones Lamar. She was born
in Camden January 31, 1852.
Bandits Escape By Clever Ruse
New York, Oct. 26.?Three bandits,
who apparently know their New
Yorkers, escaped from a pursuing
crowd of citizens by a clever, ruse
here after they had held up five cordial
shops. The crowds started to
chase the robbers after their automobile
had overturned in taking a cor-,
ner too sharply. When the pursuit
was getting hoi, one of the bandits
reached in his pocket, pulled out a
: roll of bill* and a handfull of silver,
j and began scattering the money in the
street as he ran. The pursuers, seeing*
the money, gave up the chase and
began scrambling for cash. They J
completely ignored the bandits, who
escaped in a taxi.

The W. O. N. P. R. has been working
throughout the- state to present
to the South Carolina women their
j opportunity to correct the evil*, which
! have followed in. the trai($9r prohibition,
and now urges every registered
